PUMP.

.iPEClLE'ICATlEON forming part of Letters Patent No. 348,060, datedAugust 24, 1886 Application filed April 29, 1886. Serial No. 200,592.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL SOHUBERT, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Alma, in the county of WVabaunsee and State ofKansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumps; andI do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of referencemarked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in pumps;and it consists in the construction and combination of the parts, aswill be hereinafter fully set forth, and specifically pointed otltv inthe claim, this improvementbeing designed more especially as animprovement upon theinvention illustrated and described in LettersPatent No. 124,593.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate my'invention, Figure 1 isa perspective view of a pump constructed in accordance with myimprovement. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same, and Fig. 3 is adetail perspective View. s

A refers to the pump barrel or cylinder, which has rigidly attachedthereto a box or casing, B, within which is pivoted a valve, (1, whichis adapted to swing over the exit-perforation a in the cylinder. Thecasing B is provided at oneside with a tube or offset, b, to which arubber or other flexible pipe, 0, is secured, said pipe at its oppositeend being provided with a discharge-nozzle. The bottom portion of thecylinder A is provided with a central opening, 0, through which the stemof the valve D plays,said stem being held securely in place by means ofperforated cross-bars d and d, which are attached to the upper and lowerportions of the base of the cylinder. To the base of the cylinder A,under the valve D, is attached a convex porous plate, E, through whichthe water will flow and be strained before entering the cylinder. Thisforaminous or perforated plate may be held in place by a band, 6, whichencircles the lower portion of the pump-cylinder, and said plate E restsupon (No model.)

G refers to a standard which is rigidly secured to the cylinder of thepump by means of the encircling bands 0 e, the terminal portions of saidbands being attached to this standard by bolts or other suitableconnecting means. The standard G extends below the base of the cylinderand under the shoe F, and is pointed, as shown at f, so that the pumpcan be securely held in position without danger of slipping when thesame is used in connection with a receptacle having a hard or smoothbottom. The standard G is curved slightly inwardly,so that the upperportion of the same will be on a line with the center of the cylinder,and at its upper end it is provided with a sliding and adjustable brace,G, having a curved cross-bar,which is adapted to be placed underthearmpit of the operator, so that the pump can be held in position. Thedepending portion 9' is slotted and provided with a bolt for holding thesame in position, as will be fully understood by reference to Fig. 3 ofthe drawings. Adjacent to the curved portion of the standard G the sameis provided with a downwardly-projecting arm, H, which is curveddownwardly, the inner end of said arm being preferably bifurcated so asto embrace the standard, at which pointit is rigidly secured thereto bybolts.

By the construction hereinbefore described it will be readily seen thatthe standard can be adjusted to suit persons of different heights, andwhen operating the pump the pressure will not come upon the operativeparts,.and that the point of the standard will prevent the pumpslipping, while the shoe F will pre- Vent the same sinking in the groundwhen the pump is used for taking waterfrom springs or other similarplaces.

I refers to the piston-rod, to the lower end of which the piston t ispivotally attached. The upper portion of the piston-rod is secured tothe operating-handle J between the bifurcated portions thereof, theouter cndsof said bifurcated portions j j being pivotally attached tothe end of the bent arm H. It will be noted that by providing thepump-handle with the bifurcated portion, as shown, through which thestandard G passes, a direct vertical movement of the handle is insuredand side movement is prevented. The upward movement of the handle J isprevented by said handle abutting against the bifurcated end of thecurved portion H, while an excessive downward movement is prevented by apin, k, which projects on each side of the standard G.

The pump hereinbefore described may be readily carried from place toplace, and may be advantageously used in case of fire or for sprinklingin gardens or other places where such pumps are generally used.

I claim- The combination, in a hand-pump, of a cylinder provided withsuitable valves, exitpipe, piston and piston-rod, and curved perforatedbottom, a standard, G, secured to one 'CARL SCHUBERT.
